It might be worth looking for a couple of addresses that get hit
repeatedly and temporarily activating them
I have tried this too and it reduce the load down to 15% but they are

I don't understand how refusing after MAIL could take 6 times as much
resources as accepting the message. By refusing, you don't receive
the message body and you don't have to output the message to a mailer.
That has to use less resources than accepting. I would be taking a
close look at what your server is doing during rejection. This just
seems very wrong to me.

Or he could talk with the folks at SpamCop about piping those emails
straight to them for those phony addresses.
